The city I like in Nevada is the one just as you come across the dam where the lake is and the houses sit on the hill.

I remember a case where someone bought a condemned dam at one of those sales - along with the liability for the homes downstream if it failed.

All the 'room' in these deals come from the sellers - but now I see one, and I understand.Sure, they could keep it over the winter, heat it, fix the floors, get it inspected and re-do wiring and plumbing as needed, dredge the pond, knock the down the animal infested outbuildings, mow all fall and part of spring, check for snow dams and water damage all winter.
